    They still have an old TV with some kind of rabbit ears which is now obsolete and not once have we seen Lio on a computer. What year is this supposed to be?

    From the Oompa Loompa song (from the BOOK, not the movie!):

    “The most important thing we’ve learned,So far as children are concerned,Is never, NEVER, NEVER letThem near your television set —Or better still, just don’t installThe idiotic thing at all.In almost every house we’ve been,We’ve watched them gaping at the screen.They loll and slop and lounge about,And stare until their eyes pop out.(Last week in someone’s place we sawA dozen eyeballs on the floor.)They sit and stare and stare and sitUntil they’re hypnotised by it,Until they’re absolutely drunkWith all that shocking ghastly junk. "

    I thought the TV would just eat the books.TV’s main enemy nowadays is the Internet. Why do you think so much of the programming nowadays is geared toward trailer trash? Because most people who can afford a computer would rather have fun that way!

    Reminds of a Bloom County comic, where a TV monster thing sucks out Opus’ eyeballs.

    Reminds me of the great Ghan Wilson cartoon where the guy’s TV goes static-y, and when he walks over to fix it, it devours him. Last panel, the guy’s wife has come into the room, and the static has started again…

    Someone please build a statue of Mark Tatulli, so that I may bow before it in recognition of the awesomeness of this strip.
